We got stuck behind this truck at the Border Patrol Station coming out of El Paso.
It was time for "fun with camera"
Michael making sure he knows where we are going while I goof off.
YAY TEXAS
We felt home as the land turned into flat farmland.
Seriously people, Denmark is NOT flat...Lubobck IS flat.
Lubbock was fun and even busier than El Paso. One evening we drove out to the Lockny area to spend the night seriously in the middle of nowhere with Michaels cousin Derrick and his wife and baby. (Derrick was the best man in our wedding) . Michaeløs other cousin Kasey and her friend David came out too. We sat around, talked, drank good beer, watch the A&M/Kansas State game, and played some games. We hadn't seen any of them in about a year and a half and it was really great to have some time with them. Derrick has NEVER fed us a bad meal and that streak continues. He boiled a HUGE pot over a fire outside of crawdads, shrimp, corn and potatoes. YUM!!! Then in the morning, he went out and got a ton of stuff for fajitas.
Hagen, the baby is seriously one of the sweetest children I've ever met! But I might be a little biased as his last name is, "Pate". He has the giant Pate forehead and is ADORABLE. We had so much fun playing with him.
Cousins
Michaels mom and step dad came down from Amarillo and we got to have a lot of time with them along with Michaels aunt Karen, cousin Kailey and his uncle David. One of our favorite things about Lubbock is sitting around Nana's kitchen table with all the chairs filled up just talking and we did lots of that. We of course stopped by Tech and only had about 45 minutes there which was WAY too short!!
Carrye and me in my old second home -The Texas Tech Library.
We left Lubbock on Monday and started our 5 hour trek back to Dallas. This drive was fast and we returned in no time. Along the way we spotted this at a rest stop
Our Trusty Car
Once again, we are back in Dallas. I was suppose to leave Dallas on Tuesday. It's a long story, but in short we are still in Dallas until March 29th! We get back to Denmark on the 30th. When we FINALLY get back to Denmark we will have been gone 2 days short of 6 weeks!?!?!?!? DANG!
I'm actually starting to feel homesick.... *sigh*

You guys are so funny. That little boy is definitely adorable :) Wow 6 weeks gone?? I'd be homesick too!
Carrye!!! I haven't seen her since I left Lubbock. :-O
The farthest south I have ever had to drive was San Angelo a couple of times, but even that is so incredibly flat and boring, it's enough to make you go loopy.
Well since you're stuck in Dallas a bit longer, maybe you can at least rest up a bit before the flight home.
How wonderful with all that family time!
The Pet Area with the fire hydrant is so funny!! Someone there has a great sense of humour.
I think that when we were in that area in '98, we also talked about how Denmark really wasn't all that flat in comparison.
